14 Getting rid of the slave contract

Ying Yue and Tang Xu found Uncle Feng Dai in his office, planning a new journey for himself. The office was filled to the brims with maps and books about places all over the world. Uncle Feng Dai never left on a journey without planning first. He always wanted a clear plan to follow for where he's going, even if he didn't always end up following it to a tee.

"Uncle Feng Dai I need your help."

Uncle Feng Dai who had been absorbed in his documents looked up. He took notice of Tang Xu that were standing behind Ying Yue.

"Yue'er, first, who is that behind you?"

He asked while looking at Tang Xu.

"This is Jie Tang Xu of the Jie family in the capital. You, Uncle should be aware of what has happened to his family. Most of his family members killed or turned into slaves. I managed to buy him at the slave stand in the market and now I want to be free him from the contract. However idk how to free him. I hope you know how."

Uncle Feng Dai took a closer look at Tang Xu when he heard about his identity.

"You look a lot like your late father. I am sorry for your loss. He was a great man your dad. Took care of my brother on the battlefield. Both your father and my brother worked in harmony with each other on the battlefield while I was just traveling. I've heard many stories of their extraordinary feats during the war."

"Thank you for honoring my late father. Although he and your brother did made a great achievement in the war I do not think that what you've accomplished during your travels are any less extraordinary. The young miss has given me a hope of solving this situation I'm in and getting revenge. I am very grateful for any aide given."

"Yue'er finding you is a blessing to your fate just like me finding Yue'er is a blessing to her's. I think we are here to help each other out. I will do my best to help you and Yue'er abolish this slave contract and make the slave mark disappear. In exchange I want you to help Yue'er out and protect her from any malicious presences. Can you do that for me?"

Tang Xu stamps his feet onto the ground next to each other and puts his hand up to his forehead in a salute.

"I will do my best!"

"Now now, no need to go that far. Anyway I am pretty sure I have a book about slave contracts and how to get rid of them somewhere around here. Give me some time."

Uncle Feng Dai went and started look in a pile he had nearby. Not finding what he wanted he went on to search the next one. In the end he found it in the third pile.

"Found it! Let's see what we have here..."

Uncle Feng Dai flips through the pages until it gets to a page with a special drawing on it, a drawing of the pattern of Tang Xu's slave contract. He quickly reads through the page.

"Ah... OK so I got a result. Good news is that it could be considered something easy to do. The bad news is that you may not like it."

Ying Yue looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"How so?"

Uncle Feng Dai looks back at her showing an expression that he would probably not like to tell.

"Honestly it's really simple, if the contracted master of the slave contract of this type is a virgin then a mouth to mouth kiss is to be perfomed along with the words of abolishment is required to disolve the mark and get rid of the contract. You should feel honored, young lord Jie, because of this mark you are getting my niece's first kiss."

Uncle Feng Dai's expression turned sour towards the last sentence he said. His niece would loose her first kiss because of this to a young guy she just met recently! Sure the young lord Jie, Tang Xu, was an excellent man but Feng Dai wanted the best for his niece when it came to every detail regarding romance. The guy she should give her first kiss to should be someone she has a strong bond with, something that can't be achieved during only a few hours, on top of having to have a good background without blemishes.

But breaking the contract is necessary. There are many benefits to having a slave contract but standing on equal grounds also give a lot of benefits for both parts. If both sides are on equal ground both will have more respect for each other.

Ying Yue pondered over for a bit. She met the requirements of being a virgin since she hadn't had much interaction, much less that kind of interaction, with most men except those in her family. Uncle Feng Dai knew that which is what Ying Yue guessed would be the reason to how her uncle was acting. Her uncle had only had bad experiences when it came to romance and in the past his and her father's younger sister, Ying Yue's aunt, passed away because of her husband killing her. One of her father and her uncle's biggest regrets were them not being able to save her. Although a kiss could be seen as a small thing it was still something that they regared should be saved for her future husband.

"It's fine I'll do it. What are the words I need to say?"

Uncle Feng Dai wasn't happy but he responded to her immediately.

"'With this act I free you from the binding contract laid between us and give you your freedom.' is what you need to say."

To get it over with Ying Yue just went straight to Tang Xu she said the words and put her lips on his. As soon as their lips touches a light surrounded the slave contract and it fades away leaving a baffled Feng Dai and an even more baffled Tang Xu.

"See that wasn't so bad."

Ying Yue said and laughed over the expressions she saw on the two men's faces. They had no clue that she would act so fast but she didn't want to waste any more time. She had to go back to cultivating. Looking at Tang Xu she says one more thing before leaving the room.

"Now that you are free please take some time cultivating and recovering your power. We've got a lot to do. If you need anything let me know."

Ying Yue left the room playfully throwing her hair behind her as she heads back to her room to continue her cultivation.
